FL - Deborah Culin, 46, robbed & shot to death, Orlando, 23 May 2006

ORLANDO, Fla. -- Orlando police released an important clue in an unsolved MetroWest murder. They hope surveillance video will help them find two men wanted for questioning.

Deborah Culen, a mother of three daughters, was murdered Tuesday night on her way home from work.

Detectives don't know the suspects' identities. However, they're pleading with the public to help look at the surveillance video to help find them.

Culen was coming home from hard day of work at a Florida Mall jewelry store. She had just gotten off a Lynx bus and was walking home for a glass of wine and a little television to unwind.http://www.wftv.com/news/9283507/detail.html

Tip Leads To Arrest In Murder Of Local Mother

ORLANDO, Fla. -- A tipster led Orlando Police to one of their two prime suspects in the murder of a mother of three in MetroWest.

20-year-old Toris Oliver was identified from surveillance video and arrested Sunday. Police believe he and a friend, who is still free, gunned down 46-year-old Deborah Culin, as she walked home from a bus stop to the Copper Terrace Apartments on Kirkman Road.

In the surveillance video, police say Oliver and his friend are seen using Culinís credit cards to buy candy and chips from a convenience store. Itís a thought that both enraged and saddened one of Culinís daughters.

That 20 yr old will turn on his buddy. He will probably get a plea deal if he give them the name of the other person involved.

Using her credit card for chips, ect. My gosh is that why they shot her just so they could go buy some junk? What punks. Well that junk food is going to cost them big time. When the big ole lifers get a look at a 20 yr old kid coming in they will probably all whistle and tell him to "come to BIG daddy!"

I wonder how old the 3 daughters are. Sad to lose a mother at any age... we never outgrow our need for our moms no matter how old we are.

ORLANDO, Fla. -- Family members of an Orlando mother of three killed last week said they feel a little better knowing both men wanted for her murder were in custody. Police arrested 20-year-old Kyle Keys at his apartment Monday night and captured his friend, 20-year-old Toris Oliver, over the weekend.

Prosecutors: Murder Suspect Threatened Witnesses

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- Prosecutors said an Orange County murder suspect is trying to play the system by threatening witnesses and asking for a new judge. Toris Oliver was supposed to go to trial this week for robbing and killing an Orlando mother as she walked home from a bus stop.

Prosecutors said Oliver had threatened his best friend and his girlfriend to stop them from testifying against him. That didn't work and, they said, Oliver is now up to some new shenanigans and it went on almost all day in court.

"I haven't did nothing. I'm innocent. I had nothing to do with it," Oliver said Thursday.

If that's so, some might wonder why Oliver is trying so hard to avoid going to trial by making all kinds of off-the-wall demands.

Trial begins in killing of victim shot in parking lot

A trial for one of those men began Wednesday at the Orange County Courthouse. Toris Oliver, 20, is charged with first-degree murder, armed robbery, fraudulent use of a credit card and accessory after the fact. His co-defendant, Kyle Keys, 21, who faces similar charges, is scheduled to stand trial in October.

Oliver is accused of taking part in the May 23 shooting of Culin after she got off work from her job at a jewelry store in the Florida Mall.
